Reborn to abuse the scumbag, the demon queen destroyed her ex-husband's entire family

Xiao Ruge raised her eyebrows. She was worrying about how to ask Zhu Chengxi for help. Zhu Chengxi was not short of money, and she absolutely could not use herself as a bargaining chip.

She had just been wondering how she should repay Zhu Chengxi for this favor. Now that Zhu Chengxi also needed her help, they no longer owed each other anything.

However, one still needs to be cautious when necessary, so Xiao Ruge did not rush to agree, but asked.

"Can you tell me first what it is?"

Seeing that there was something to talk about, Zhu Chengxi quickly spoke.

"Ruge, you know, I'm not a decisive person either."

"Besides, business is something that can only be done if everyone works together."

"All I need is Ruge to help suppress them a little bit. I won't kill them all."

Xiao Ruge understood that those old guys in the court who were involved in business as Zhu Chengxi mentioned were indeed relying on their power to bully the business circle in Kyoto. When the master of the Zhu family was still alive, they were only thinking about the business lines in the hands of the Zhu family and did not dare to really take action. Now that the master of the Zhu family is gone, this useless playboy has taken on the responsibility, and they naturally became restless.

Xiao Ruge looked at Zhu Chengxi, who had changed a little but was still weak in her eyes. She decided to give him a few more words of reminder. After all, this was when she was at her loneliest, and he was the only person who didn't look at her differently. They could be considered friends.

"Master Zhu, can you allow me to say a few more words?"

Zhu Chengxi was actually not used to Xiao Ruge being so polite, but he didn't know how to say anything, so he nodded quickly.

"Ruge, you say."

Seeing that Zhu Chengxi was someone who could listen, Xiao Ruge began to speak.

"I want to ask Master Zhu, do you want to keep the Zhu family going?"

"That's natural."

Zhu Chengxi agreed to this statement without thinking. Although he was indeed a useless person in the past, he was still able to distinguish right from wrong when it came to major issues. If he did not take up this responsibility, the entire Zhu family would probably have to live a life of displacement and hunger.

"Okay, then I will give Master Zhu a piece of advice. If you give those greedy people a glimmer of hope, you will be cruel to yourself."

Xiao Ruge made it very clear that Zhu Chengxi had to harden his heart, mark out the territory clearly, and determine the bottom line, so that those guys would be cautious and afraid and would not dare to approach the Zhu family's business easily.

But Zhu Chengxi still couldn't make up his mind. After all, he didn't have confidence in himself. He didn't think he could intimidate those people. It was just giving up a little bit of profit in exchange for long-term peace for the Zhu family. In Zhu Chengxi's opinion, this was not a loss.

How could Xiao Ruge not know what Zhu Chengxi was thinking? Even though it would be a bit over the line to say more, Xiao Ruge still decided to persuade him again.

"When you first start facing these things, you don't know how deep the bad roots of those people are. If you keep retreating from your bottom line, those people will push you further and further, and finally eat you alive. But even so, they will only think that the Zhu family is nothing more than that."

"Although you said you are not familiar with your father, you should have heard about how your father dealt with these things even if you didn't see it with your own eyes."

Upon hearing these words, Zhu Chengxi's eyes lit up and he seemed to understand something. However, the light only dimmed for a moment and then immediately went dark again.

"Ruge, I understand what you said, but..."

Zhu Chengxi didn't say it in the end. It was really too embarrassing to expose his cowardice in front of the girl he liked.

"It's just that you're worried that you can't control those old guys, that you can't control them, and that you don't have the ability to control so many business lines."

"But didn't you just ask me for help?"

Xiao Ruge said out loud everything that was in his mind one by one, and when Zhu Chengxi heard the last sentence, his eyes, which had dimmed, instantly lit up again.

"So, Ruge, you agree?"

Zhu Chengxi spoke tentatively. Although he was afraid that he had heard it wrong, the moment he saw Xiao Ruge nod, the joy on his face could not be suppressed.

"Ruge! I... I don't know how to thank you... I..."

Ever since Zhu Chengxi became the head of the family, he has tried his best to do things for the Zhu family, but has not been able to gain recognition from the elders in the family. Apart from his grandmother who has always supported him, Xiao Ruge is the only one who is willing to help him. For a moment, the joy in his heart made him unable to speak clearly.

Xiao Ruge shook her head with amusement.

"But let me be clear, I'm not helping you for nothing."

Even if this had not happened, he would have agreed if Xiao Ruge had come to him for help.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chengxi immediately agreed, and Xiao Ruge was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Just listen to it first, and then decide whether to agree to it, okay?"

Zhu Chengxi waved his hand.

"Ruge, I will agree to all your requests without any consideration."

Seeing this, Xiao Ruge stopped refusing and pausing.

"I want you, Master Zhu, to become our ally and cooperate with me in setting up a plan to eliminate dissidents in the court."

In fact, Zhu Chengxi had long heard about Xiao Ruge's heroic deeds in the court these days, and he naturally admired him very much. But when the matter really came to him, Zhu Chengxi began to hesitate and didn't know whether he could cooperate.

Becoming an alliance is not just a casual gathering and making friends. After forming an alliance, they become allies who can rely on each other for their future. This responsibility is heavy.

Xiao Ruge also noticed Zhu Chengxi's worries and spoke up.

"Master Zhu, rest assured. Whatever I ask you to cooperate with is definitely within your capabilities and I won't make it too difficult for you."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chengxi hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands. He didn't want Xiao Ruge to think that his hesitation was due to fear of danger or cowardice. He was just afraid that he would slow down Xiao Ruge's pace.

"Ruge... I promise you! If there's anything you need me for, just tell me and I'll do my best to help you.

With Zhu Chengxi's words, the plan in Xiao Ruge's mind was more than half settled. The next step was to wait for Mu Gu to come back and inform him, and then he could start implementing it.

Xiao Ruge stood up and pushed open the window of the box. She estimated the position of the sun and thought that it was almost time and the person who was coming to pick her up would be here soon.

Xiao Ruge turned around and looked at Zhu Chengxi, who was still a little confused, and spoke.

"Then Master Zhu, I will leave first. I will let Bai Zhi inform you of important matters that need to be discussed later."
